Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a communication system or the like that allows a user of a server to visually decide whether to permit access from a remote client terminal that supports the user.SOLUTION: A server accessed from a client terminal displays, on a display means of the server, whether to permit access. When access to the server is permitted by a user operation on the server that permits access to the server, the client terminal displays, on the display means of the client terminal, the information to be displayed on the display means of the server, and operates the server by a user operation on the input means of the client terminal.

Description

  The present invention relates to a technology for access authorization of a client terminal that accesses a server.

  Until now, the server side screen is displayed on the client terminal that is allowed to access the server, and the server is also operated from the client terminal side, and the server is used from the remote client terminal. When supporting a user, it was impossible to determine whether the client terminal accessing on the server side was a client with access authority.

  In addition, the client terminal access control setting on the server side requires registration work such as a MAC address, which is difficult for beginners of information processing apparatus handling.

  As a related technique, there is a technique for providing a personal computer support system that can perform an appropriate and quick measure in support of maintenance of a user's personal computer. The configuration is such that the software for remotely controlling the personal computer is installed in the personal computer of the user and the support center, and the content of the user's personal computer is controlled by remotely controlling the user's personal computer with the personal computer of the support center. The user's question content is accurately grasped by visually recognizing with a personal computer (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2002-41640 A

  However, in the technique of Patent Document 1, when a user using a server is supported from a remote client terminal, whether the access is permitted or not when the client terminal accesses the server is determined according to a predetermined server. It has been difficult to output a predetermined message on the display screen or the like of the display unit so that the server user can easily recognize it visually and perform an access approval operation.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems. When a user using a server is supported from a remote client terminal, the client terminal accesses the server when the client terminal accesses the server. A communication system capable of outputting a predetermined message on a display screen of a predetermined display unit of the server, allowing the user of the server to easily recognize visually, and performing an access approval work, It is an object to provide a server and a communication method.

The communication system of the present invention is a communication system including a server and a client terminal connected via a network,
The server that has received access from the client terminal displays whether to permit the access on the display means of the server,
The client terminal permitted to access the server by a user operation to the server that permits access to the server displays information displayed on the display means of the server on the display means of the client terminal, The server is operated by a user operation on an input unit of the client terminal.

The server of the present invention receives access from a client terminal connected via a network, displays on the display means whether to allow the access,
Accepting a user operation permitting access, notifying the client terminal that access is permitted,
The server is operated by a user operation on the input unit of the client terminal permitted to access, which displays the information displayed on the display unit of the own server on the display unit.

The communication method of the present invention is a communication method using a server and a client terminal connected via a network,
The server that has received access from the client terminal displays on the display means of the server whether or not to permit the access;
The client terminal that is permitted to access the server by a user operation to the server that permits access to the server displays information displayed on the display means of the server on the display means of the client terminal, And operating the server by a user operation on the input means of the client terminal.

  According to the present invention, when a user using a server is supported from a remote client terminal, whether the access is permitted when the client terminal accesses the server, the predetermined display unit of the server A predetermined message can be output on a display screen or the like, and the user of the server can be easily recognized visually to perform an access approval operation.

  FIG. 3 is a sequence diagram illustrating processing operations of the server 1 and the client terminal 2 in the present embodiment.

  Referring to FIG. 3, first, the client terminal 2 accesses the reception unit 13 of the server 1 from the transmission unit 22 via the network 3 (S301). Note that the ID assigning unit 21 of the client terminal 2 may assign identification information such as a user name used when accessing the server 1 and transmit the identification information to the server 1.

  The control unit 11 of the server 1 that has received access from the client terminal 2 displays on the display unit 15 whether or not to permit the access (S302). For example, a message such as “Do you want to allow access? (Yes / No)” may be displayed on the screen. In addition, identification information such as the user name of the client terminal 2 is also displayed on the screen with a message such as “Access request from Mr. A. Is access permitted? (Yes / No)”. It may be. As a result, it is possible to deal with cases where it is desired to deny access regardless of who the user of the client terminal 2 is, or when it is desired to individually determine access approval depending on who the user of the client terminal 2 is.

  The user of the server 1 visually recognizes the display on the display unit 15 and determines whether or not to permit access, and performs a predetermined user operation on the input unit 16 such as selecting Yes / No (S303). The transmission unit 12 of the server 1 transmits the result to the reception unit 23 of the client terminal 2 via the network 3 (S304).
